He was my great great grandfather and although he did many things for the community<span style="font-size: small;"> during his time in Australia</span> I am not quite sure he did the same for his families. As you will see, he seemed to have several families on the go, at the same time and when he returned to England with several of his children, he put the rest of his children and "wives" out of his mind and they were left to fend for themselves.&nbsp; One thing in my research I have found, is the importance of continually going back and researching your ancestor again and again. The number of resources that have continually become available in the last few years has been quite dramatic. I have been researching this family for nearly eighteen years and it is probably only in the last five years that I have really been able to put this amount of detail together. Even in the last six months I have found new newspapers digitised on Trove and other resources available digitally online such as at the State Library of Victoria.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have recorded information on this particular ancestor in a timeline.&nbsp; I felt this was the best way to try and keep track of his movements. As you will see he seemed to be all about the place and with the families he had I was trying to keep track of who was born when and where. This will make it easier to add more information in the future and even perhaps write a short story.</span><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:DocumentProperties> <o:Version>14.00</o:Version>

Accordingly a room was rented and furnished in Bohemian fashion, with some cane chairs, a deal table, a cocoa-nut matting and spittoons. In this the first meeting was held in order to baptise the club. The meeting in question debated, with the assistance of sundry pewters and pipes—not empty, gentle reader—the subject warmly from the first proposition made by Clarke, that the club should be called “Golgotha,” or the place of skulls, to the last, “alas, poor Yorick!” This brief name was accepted as appropriate, and the somewhat excited company adjourned to a Saturday night’s supper at a jovial Eating-House, too well known to fame</i>".<a href="http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1172594861165799900#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference">[4]</span></span></a></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -36pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><u>1879:</u></b>&nbsp;&nbsp; At some stage Edmund and his wife Fanny travelled to New Zealand and on 11 August 1879 George Berkeley Harrison Jnr is born at Turner St, Auckland, New Zealand.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: -36pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>Birth notice in the New Zealand Herald, Volume XVI, Issue 5545, 25 August 1879, Page 4</i></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: -36pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -36pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -36pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><u>1881</u></b>:&nbsp;&nbsp; The birth of this daughter was not recorded but was listed on her mother’s death certificate.

I found the fact that Edmund could so casually take up with a young woman produce several children and then move on to the next one rather callous and cold behaviour. Fanny Allen was a 16 year old orphan on the 31st May in 1878 when Edmund married her at All Saints Church in St Kilda in Melbourne. Edmund even had the temerity to put Fanny's fathers occupation as a gentleman, when in fact he had been a Publican who had died when she was quite young. His own father was also described as a Gentleman, when if fact he was a Merchant. Perhaps his rise to the middle-classes meant being a gentleman was a more appropriate title.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fanny's parents were John Allen, a Publican originally from Sheffield in Yorkshire, England and Hannah Maher (Meagher) of Roscrea, Tipperary, Ireland. John Allen would have been born about 1829 and came to Melbourne around 1851 and married Hannah in 1852 according to the St Peter's Church of England records </span><span style="font-size: small;">Registration no. 29498. Hannah may have been born about 1836, the records are conflicting about dates. He and Hannah had a number of children:</span></div><br /><ol><li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">John Francis Allen died age 8 Collingwood 1862 registration 7006 so was born about 1854.

His death was caused from a disease of the heart brought on from Alcoholism of which he had suffered for ten years. He was the son of John soft?. Goodsman and Mary Allen. He was buried at Melbourne Cemetery on 2nd January 1874. According to The Argus he was at the Sussex Hotel, Elizabeth St, Melbourne at the time of his death.&nbsp; His wife Hannah died a few years later on 23rd July 1876 at Cotham Rd, Kew, the daughter of an Unknown Meagher who had been a farmer. The alcohol seems to have been the death of her too as she succumbed to a disease of the liver that she had for a considerable time. Frederick her son of 97 Elizabeth St Melbourne was the informant. Hannah was buried at Melbourne Cemetery on the 24th July at quarter to 3 o'clock by John Daley Undertaker. She had been a resident of the Duke of Sussex Hotel, Elizabeth St, Melbourne.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Some other useful information was gathered from Probate of Hannah Allen I was able to download from <a href="http://prov.vic.gov.au/index_search?searchid=54" target="_blank">PROV </a>. She died intestate and Probate was granted to Mary Ryan (widow) of Johnston St, Fitzroy. Mary Ryan according to the documents was the sister of Hannah. As Hannah had liabilities more than the assets from the Duke of Sussex Hotel she would have had to settle these and take charge of the youngest children of the Allen family.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To find a little more information about the families connection to Hotels in Melbourne I went to the State Library of Victoria and looked at the </span><a href="http://miyamoto.slv.vic.gov.au:40060/WebZ/html/search.html?active=1?sessionid=02-48101-1582413325:topic=" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" target="_blank">Cole/Tetlow Index of Hotel Records</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">. This showed John Allen having licence of the Olive Branch from 1858 to 1861. I also found a digitised old map of Melbourne on the State Library site and was able to ascertain that the Olive Branch Hotel was at the top end of LaTrobe St on the corner of Stephen's St (now called Exhibition St) which is just down from Spring St. He went to the Parliamentary Hotel, Lonsdale St in 1861. John Allen had the Royal Surrey Hotel licence in 1863/64. He is then listed as having the Carlisle Hotel, Bourke St 1866/67. John was then listed at the Duke of Sussex Hotel, Elizabeth St in 1872/73 which was at the time of his death. His wife Hannah is then listed as having the licence in 1874 until her death.</span></span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">&nbsp; So what happened to Fanny?&nbsp; Well maybe Edmund decided he needed to get out of town for awhile. So he hopped on a ship and was off to Auckland in New Zealand working as a journalist. However I have been unable to ascertain exactly what he was working on. I did however find a&nbsp; birth registered (one of the only ones he actually registered) in the <a href="https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Home/" target="_blank">New Zealand BDM index</a></span> .</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I very quickly ordered that record.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> George Berkeley Harrison was born on the 22nd August 1879 at Turner St, Auckland. Edmund was aged 50 at the time. Edmund and Fanny apparently had a daughter Violet Dunant in New Zealand as I ascertained later from British Census records. Edmund seems to have dumped poor Fanny back in Melbourne and taken the children back to England as I later found him in the 1891 census boarding with daughters Violet and Constance. Who is Constance you ask? Well Edmund obviously had another liasion somewhere along the way and took the child with him to England. Unfortunately, Fanny must have been left to struggle to make ends meet as I found her dying on 11th June 1896 in the Melbourne Hospital of acute pneumonia, phthisis and exhaustion at the age of 35. She was buried on the 13th June at the Melbourne General Cemetery.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So Edmund happily went back to London and retired to live to a ripe old age of 92 while the women he had used all died quite young Jane at 57, Ellen at 55 and Fanny at just 35.</span></span><br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W32fg8hYCYg/T6zgb5NALbI/AAAAAAAAAKY/okI5JqLgBTE/s1600/Violet+Harrison+1905-6+REDUCED.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W32fg8hYCYg/T6zgb5NALbI/AAAAAAAAAKY/okI5JqLgBTE/s320/Violet+Harrison+1905-6+REDUCED.jpg" width="225" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Violet taken around 1905 and kindly given to me by Phillip Bury</i></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As to what happened to Fanny's children George Berkeley seems to have disappeared rumoured to have gone to America and died in an earthquake.

With a copy of his death certificate transcript in hand (purchased from <a href="http://joymurrin.com.au/" target="_blank">Joy Murrin</a>)we were off to the little hamlet of O'Connell. A township about 30 km south east of Bathurst. With my kind of luck the whole main street was blocked off for roadworks and we were sent on a detour around the town. We passed by the old Anglican Church and its cemetery but he wouldn't be there. John and his family were Roman Catholics. I had previously searched the internet in search of the family and found some useful information on the <a href="http://austcemindex.com/" target="_blank">Australian Cemeteries Index</a> site it has listings for O'Connell Cemeteries (including Anglican, Roman Catholic and the General Cemetery). You can also find a listing of the O'Connell General Cemetery at this site <a href="http://www.family.joint.net.au/index.php?cid=861&amp;mid=14" target="_blank">Family Lists</a></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A visit to the local pub at O'Connell and a chat to the lady working there put us on the right track to finding the old Roman Catholic cemetery. She also informed us that the O'Connell Hotel had been running since 1865 so I it is more than likely that the Whiteford's frequented this establishment.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A short walk from the hotel to the old Roman Catholic Church and convent which is now a private residence was in a picturesque setting as shown.&nbsp;</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Es1pNIQcxS4/T450I382jPI/AAAAAAAAAJc/h8XH_asFqx8/s1600/O%2527connell+RC+Church.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Es1pNIQcxS4/T450I382jPI/AAAAAAAAAJc/h8XH_asFqx8/s400/O%2527connell+RC+Church.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We knocked on the door and asked permission to go through to the cemetery as a courtesy because the cemetery is at the back of the residence.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The headstones are very old and most are in poor condition.

Perhaps John senior is buried with him and this was never recorded on the headstone. There were no other of the family buried here that we could find.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><i>John Whitford was born in County Antrim, Ireland in 1805, the son of John Whitford (Farmer) and Jane Gow. He was tried in County Armagh on 14 February 1826 for stealing cloth and with no previous convictions for this petty crime he was sentenced to transportation for life. John was transported to Port Jackson in 1827 aboard the Countess of Harcourt. His age at this time was 21. A description given for him describes his height 5 feet 5 and 3/4 with a ruddy pock pitted complexion, light brown hair and grey eyes. He was a Protestant and could read and write and had an occupation as a farmer. In 1842 he was given permission to marry Catherine Bligh. He married her on 4th April 1842 at St Michael's RC Church, Kelso NSW. Catherine was a young 19 year old Irish girl born about 1823 in County Down the daughter of Andrew Bligh and Catherine Cain. She had come as a free on the William Turner to Botany Bay 5th October 1841. She worked as a house maid.&nbsp;</i></span><br /><br /><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">A Ticket of Leave was originally granted on 9 March 1836 – at this time John Whitford was described as a Labourer and, as well as the above physical description, he was said to be deficient of the left hand.&nbsp; As this was not mentioned in his indent,&nbsp; John may have met with an accident in this time.&nbsp; John Whitford’s original Ticket of Leave given on 9 March 1836 was cancelled and his recommendation for Pardon halted on 3 February 1843, having been had up for Aggravated Assault.&nbsp; His Passport was re-issued on 22 August, 1843.&nbsp; His Ticket of Leave was restored and his eventual date of Pardon was 22 January, 1848. AT this time John added an 'e' into his surname and became Whiteford. John was given a grant of land at Mutton Falls, Snakes Valley near Bathurst. He died at Snakes Valley on 3rd February 1877 age 74 of old age and was buried at O'Connell Plains on 5th February 1877. The informant was James Ryan, tenant, Snakes Valley. The undertaker Henry Whelan, Minister D. A. McGrath. His religion was RC and witnesses Edward Brennan and James Ryan. Apparently the land passed on to his eldest surviving son</span></i><span style="font-size: small;"><i> Thomas.</i></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2bOrj0ONsU4/T48x8fwa6-I/AAAAAAAAAJ4/_MZN3PO8LIY/s1600/B323D83B-F7CC-4A42-8FA8-2B159EA13802.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2bOrj0ONsU4/T48x8fwa6-I/AAAAAAAAAJ4/_MZN3PO8LIY/s1600/B323D83B-F7CC-4A42-8FA8-2B159EA13802.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The headstone of John Whiteford(jnr).

He didn't leave an easy trail to follow and finding information about him has taken me the last 16 years and the searching of a wide variety of records.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had to start from hearsay from the family so all I had to start with was that Edmund Harrison was my great grandmothers father and Ellen Lonergan was her mother. Edmund was a journalist who worked on papers in Bendigo, Ballarat and Geelong and that there was some connection to James Harrison of Geelong. He had the Geelong Advertiser and was an early inventor of refrigeration. A couple of tales mentioned he died young, while another was said that he went back to England on family business never to return. I also knew my great grandmother had at least a brother, Louis and two sisters Ellen May and Jessie and in my search I found another brother, Edmund.

Now, Orange Cemetery is rather large, so go prepared when doing a search. I had looked up the index for the names previously on the CD produced by the Orange Family History Group, so had the sections and grave number I was looking for. They have maps available at the cemetery, but you can also go to the <a href="http://www.orange.nsw.gov.au/go/community-facilities/cemetery">Orange&nbsp;Council web site</a> and download one&nbsp;before you go.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is also <a href="http://www.orange.nsw.gov.au/go/our-city/historical/cemeteries">background historical information</a> about the cemetery on <a href="http://www.orange.nsw.gov.au/go/our-city/historical/cemeteries">this site</a>. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">It is still a very hard job finding the graves even with the map and location, but we did eventually find it, as shown above. Lucky enough it had three headstones, with plenty of information. However one was slightly damaged made of stone that had worn away and was very difficult to read.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Transcribed they read:</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aqBwDc7OazU/S1pmGOHteQI/AAAAAAAAABg/9nbNQcEJmMU/s1600-h/Rob+And+Whiteford.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" mt="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aqBwDc7OazU/S1pmGOHteQI/AAAAAAAAABg/9nbNQcEJmMU/s400/Rob+And+Whiteford.jpg" width="300" /></a><br /></div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><em>Sacred to the memory of </em></span><br /><em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Robert Andrew</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The beloved son of</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Robert &amp; Sarah Whiteford</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Died Feb 22nd 1878</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Aged 11 months</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">also</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">James Joseph Wynne</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Born at Orange Nov ?1st 1858?</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Died at Parramatta? on Nov 18? 1913</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Jesus ??? have mercy on his soul.</span></em><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Note: Checked the <a href="http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/familyHistory.htm">NSW Birth, Death and Marriages&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;could not find a record of his birth, but found the death, registered in Sydney, parents Thomas &amp; Sarah.

I recently was contacted through <a href="http://www.ancestry.com.au/">Ancestry</a> about the Kiniry family. I really only had a small amount of information about them. My grandma Irene Veronica O'Neill, a staunch Catholic, when I was younger, told me about cousins Rev. Father Tom Kiniry and Rev. Father John Kiniry. That was about the extent of my knowledge. My uncle Paul Pearce another mad fellow family historian had given me the information that Brigid Hurley cousin of my grandmother's through the McMahon family married Peter William Kiniry and they had a daughter Agnes Kiniry.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>My contact through Ancestry wanted to know more and when, where and who came out to Australia from Ireland. I then had to go to work doing more research, starting with the Victorian Birth, Death and Marriage indexes. I am luck enought to have access to these on CD, but for a fee you can access the <a href="https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/home">Registry of VIC BDMs online</a>. This gave me a wealth of information that I spent several hours sifting through. The number of * wildcard searches on the surname Kiniry I had to do as they were very creative in their spelling of this name.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Peter William Kiniry I found had been born in Maldon, Victoria in 1874 and died at Korong Vale, Victoria in 1922. The Kiniry's and many of my other relatives including O'Neills, Hogans, McMahons and Ryans farmed in the Boort, Korong Vale and Whychitella surrounds in Victoria.</div><br /><div>Peter married Brigid Hurley in 1908 at Wychitella. She was the daughter of Patrick Hurley and Jane McMahon. and was born in 1879 probably at Wychitella and died 24 December 1917 at Korong Vale. She is buried at Wedderburn Cemetery.</div><br /><div>Peter farmed the Koprong Vale area and was a member of local council for many years. Furhter information was found on newspapers on the <a href="http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home">National Library of Australia's newspaper website</a>.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Peter was the son of John Kiniry born 1835, died 1918 at Korong Vale and Mary Morrisey born about 1835 and died 1922 at Korong Vale. Now I know they came from Ireland, but when and where from. That was the next test on which I spent a long time searching and again the many ways of spelling their surname made it difficult. This meant searching on the PROV Online <a href="http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search.asp?searchid=24">Assisted British</a> and <a href="http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search.asp?searchid=23">Unassisted </a>indexes. So far I have had no luck. I even tried the <a href="http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/indexes-online/indexes-online#immigration-and-shipping">Passenger indexes </a>from NSW State Records with no luck. One to keep working on!!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Next problem where they came from. I tried looking for all the children of John Kiniry and Mary Morrisey. The first one born in Victoria was Margaret in 1863 in Melbourne. With further searching on found a Thomas Bartholomew Kiniry dying in 1916 age 58 in Brighton, Victoria and working backwards I found he married in 1883 in Victoria to Jane O'Neill stating that his birthplace was Cork, Ireland.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Well I now have a lot more information to send to the contact in USA, but it has now given me more work in trying to track down the immigration of John and Brigid Kiniry and son Thomas from Cork, Ireland in Victoria, Australia. I do know from John's death register that his parents were John Kiniry and Mary O'Connor, so a little more to go on.</div><br /><div></div>Nicole Closehttps://plus.google.com/100309074549126053712noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172594861165799900.post-31569125336605775142010-01-10T03:10:00.000-08:002010-01-10T19:18:25.026-08:00Back at it Again!!<div align="left">Well I am finally over Christmas and New Year and have been away on hols for a week down at Phillip Island and Inverloch in Victoria. Thought it was about time to get back to work. Finally have fixed all the place names on the Close Family Tree, so I am now in the processes of sorting the filing cabinet out and re-organising all my bits of paper and certificates into folders that will be easy to find.<br /><br />Particularly working on the Kimber and Simcock families today. I had collected Inquests on several deaths of these families years ago. A good place to get some extra information now is via <a href="http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home">Newspapers online</a>. I found and fixed some interesting information on my inquests for Timothy Simcock, Arthur Foster Kimber and William David Simcock in the Melbourne Argus.<br /><a href="http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home"></a><br /><br />I also found it useful to do a search for <a href="http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search.asp?searchid=54">Wills and Probates </a>that have been digitised that are now available at the Victorian Public Records Office.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">If you are a member of the <a href="http://gsv.org.au/">GSV</a> (Genealogical Society of Victoria), of which I am, it is a good idea to have a look at the members section. They have a database that you can search of online resources. I was able to find a number of the Kimbers and Simcocks mentioned in Hospital records such as Ballarat and Fairfield Infectious Diseases Hospital (they have images of these) and a number of other miscellaneous records. Anyway it's worth utilising it if you are a member and I should do this more often.</div>Nicole Closehttps://plus.google.com/100309074549126053712noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172594861165799900.post-62782474892115703892009-12-01T00:01:00.000-08:002009-12-01T00:39:14.430-08:00Fixing Family Tree MakerSince I have been upgrading Family Tree Maker every year I have found some of my facts and places have become mixed up and very untidy. Luckily Family Tree Maker has built in maps and has a facility to resolve place names.<br /><br />I decided that seeing I want to put a number of my files in order and make sure I have added all the data and information I have collected I needed to fix all the problems in my Trees up before I add any more information. Considering I have thousands of names this is taking me some time. The ability of FTM to resolve all place names of the same name is a great feature, but unfortunately it will not resolve all place names. I will have to find out if there is a way around this. Also after I had upgraded to edition 17 a number of my facts are in the wrong place, so that will take me several hours rearranging.<br /><br />Then I am going to work on Gordon's family tree on his mothers side. The surnames are Burrell, Chaston, Whitford or Whiteford, Walker, Wynne, Boothroyde, Gold or Gould, Finney. A number of them came out as convicts, many to Tasmania. Years after I have already got most of their records, many of them are now being digitised. There is a lot more information now on the Tasmanian Archives website and it is well worth going back to regularly to see what else they have available <a href="http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/">http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/</a> and also State Records NSW have information on NSW convicts <a href="http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/indexes-online">http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/indexes-online</a>Nicole Closehttps://plus.google.com/100309074549126053712noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172594861165799900.post-62693712634741822602009-11-25T01:10:00.000-08:002009-11-25T01:53:38.411-08:00Researching VIC Government GazettesI have been having a good search through the Government gazettes available online <a href="http://gazette.slv.vic.gov.au/">http://gazette.slv.vic.gov.au/</a> for Victoria and NSW. Found a number of references to Thomas Flint my gggrandfather who was a Mounted Constable as was his son Theodore. Also found quite a bit on Arthur Loftus Flint who was also Thomas' son and was a Post Master.<br /><br /><div><div>Have also been finding a lot of good information on the National Library of Australia's Australian Newspaper site. <a href="http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home">http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home</a> They are constantly adding to it and they plan to do some of the major regional newspapers in the next few years. I find the Argus a valuable research tool for finding information on ancestors that were in Victoria. I was able to find the missing girl who is the flower girl in my grandparents Arthur and Jessie Flint's wedding. Her name is Yvonne Lang and she became a nurse. She was the daughter of William Baker Lang and Nora Kennedy from the Bass, Gippsland area. Also found more information on her in the Electoral rolls on Ancestry.</div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aqBwDc7OazU/Swz7h3FuiBI/AAAAAAAAABI/3QY0H89ugPo/s1600/wedding.bmp"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 273px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407973811707349010" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aqBwDc7OazU/Swz7h3FuiBI/AAAAAAAAABI/3QY0H89ugPo/s320/wedding.bmp" /></a><br /><div><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Arthur Stothers Flint Born 1901 Died 1977</span></em></div><div><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Jessie Catherine McCaffrey Born 1902 Died 1980</span></em></div><div><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Married 1924 St Patrick's East Melbourne</span></em></div><div><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em> </div><div><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Flowergirl Yvonne Lang daughter of William Baker Lang and Edith Nora Kennedy</span></em></div></div>Nicole Closehttps://plus.google.com/100309074549126053712noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172594861165799900.post-91636588394285423492009-11-23T22:15:00.000-08:002009-11-24T00:44:50.028-08:00GMAGS ExpoThe GMAGS expo last Saturday was a great day for the 10th and final year. I was able to get an upgrade for Family Tree Maker so am on 2010 now. I also bought the book Google Your Family Tree by Daniel M Lynch. It has some really useful ideas to help with doing searches on the internet. I also bought a copy of Dave Evans Victorian Mining Accident Index that has over 12000 names of people associated with Mining Accidents in Victoria. This is a valuable resource to check if you had family living in areas around the goldfields of Victoria. Dave also had some interesting stories to tell about his experiences at the BBQ on Friday night.<br /><br />I was doing free lookups for people as Brad Argent from Ancestry.com.au kindly allowed us access to a world wide account for the day. If you would like more information about their service go to <a href="http://www.ancestry.com.au/">http://www.ancestry.com.au</a> I have been using this resource for about 18 months now and have found such a lot of information particularly now I have the UK heritage plus which has given me access to a number of London records and I have been able to continue my search for more information on Edmund Harrison my gggrandfather and his family. With access to Worldwide I was able to find Francis Shudall on the New York Passengers List arriving from Ireland on the Majestic from Liverpool in 1907 aged 53 occupation Rubber Merchant headed for Chicago with $40 in his possession and I also found him in the Chicago Voters List of 1892 at 20 N. Center Ave his term of residence 5 years and he was naturalised. I was trying to find some distant relatives that went to America from Ireland at the end of the 19th century Katherine O'Neil and she married a John Carey but it is very hard with little information to go on.<br /><br />On the Sunday I went to a great workshop on Photoshop and restoring old photos this was presented by Carol Heath <a href="http://www.pixelbypixel.com.au/">http://www.pixelbypixel.com.au</a> I was able to start restoring the wedding photo of my grandparents wedding Arthur Stothers Flint and Jessie Catherine McCaffrey with Yvonne Lang as the flower girl in the photo.Nicole Closehttps://plus.google.com/100309074549126053712noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172594861165799900.post-63529344941754807072009-11-17T23:05:00.000-08:002009-11-18T01:36:28.461-08:00Beginning<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aqBwDc7OazU/SwOdpaz7K1I/AAAAAAAAAA4/OxtcvlSvyRs/s1600/Flints.bmp"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aqBwDc7OazU/SwOdpaz7K1I/AAAAAAAAAA4/OxtcvlSvyRs/s320/Flints.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405337312672033618" /></a><br /><br /><em>"This photo contains my grandfather as a boy and the rest of the Flint Family.
